Shaw, William Westsiders: Stories of the Boys in the Hood
New York City Simon & Schuster Trade 2000 0684865068 / 9780684865065 First Edition; First Printing Hardcover Fine in Very Good dust jacket
Red Hardcover, in DJ; Remainder Mark on Bottom; From author and journalist William Shaw comes this probing exploration of the dreams and the realities of seven young African-American men struggling to make it in Southcentral Los Angeles, the world capital of gangsta rap and West Coast hip hop." "In the late eighties, hip hop was revolutionized by the hard new sound that exploded from Los Angeles. The exhilarating and shocking new music described a place where guns, sex, and life are cheap and disposable and where the struggle for success, stability, and respect is hard fought. The seven young subjects of this chronicle have all grown up in a neighbrohood riddled with violence where the notion of manhood seems constantly under threat - and all of them dream of transforming this urban experience into the platinum success enjoyed by their heroes, rappers such as Tupac Shakur, Snoop Dogg, and Dr. Dre. The sometimes troubled products of a ruthless environment, they look to hip hop as their only viable form of expression, as their key to survival, and as their greatest hope for escape. The DJ is downgraded from fine because of a 1 1/2" tear in the bottom rear panel.; 7090; Remainder; 8 3/4"H x 5 3/4"W
